    Both sides support Israel, but they’re far from united. Republicans have been pushing Israel to take the fight directly to Iran since the proxy conflict started in ‘85. Believe it or not, this is a more moderate version of support than the republicans would have if they were in control.

      The democrats are smart enough to know that it’s not a good look to be rooting for more violence, but they are still materially interested in supporting Israel’s domination in the region.

      It’s only meaningfully different if all you care about is aesthetics.

          I’m aware of Trumps remarks, thank you.

          Eradication of Palestinians is happening regardless of Biden’s ‘stern’ words. The only material difference between Biden and Trump is their public remarks on the matter, either way Israel conducts themselves the way they want without meaningful repercussions.

          That’s the definition of aesthetic.
